Sometimes the Fontshop newsletter surprises and delights me. Like now. Monroe OT by Daniel Hernandez.

“LetterMpress™ will be a virtual letterpress environment—released first on the iPad—that will allow anyone to create authentic-looking letterpress designs and prints.
The design process is the same as the letterpress process—you place and arrange type and cuts on a press bed, lock the type, ink the type, and print. You will be able to create unlimited designs, with multiple colors, using authentic vintage wood type and art cuts. And you can print your design directly from LetterMpress or save it as an image for import it into other applications.”
New Zealand design/type nerds-
I’m distributing LetterMpress for iPad in New Zealand on it’s launch day, and I have a small number of copies to give away.
If you didn’t back the project, but wish you had, drop me an email – I need to know your email address in order to grant you the app, you will need an ipad (obviously).
I’ll just pick a few people – so, bribery welcome 😉

South Africa belongs to those who live in it
Artwork by Faith47, film by Rowan Pybus.
Faith47 is acutely aware of social and economic injustices that plague South Africa, as well as the rest of the globe and her striking images and flowing typography are a welcome addition to urban streets.
